How to consume Red banana without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein

Include a source of protein, such as Greek yogurt or a handful of nuts, to help slow down the absorption of sugars.

Add Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats like avocado or a spoonful of nut butter. This can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Incorporate Fiber

Eat high-fiber foods alongside the red banana, such as chia seeds or a few slices of cucumber, to moderate glucose absorption.

Portion Control

Limit your portion size of red bananas to reduce the overall sugar intake in one sitting.

Pre-Meal Hydration

Drink a glass of water or herbal tea before eating to help you feel fuller and potentially reduce the spike.

Physical Activity Post-Meal

Engage in light physical activity, like a short walk, after eating to help your muscles use up the glucose.

Choose Unripe Bananas

Opt for slightly less ripe red bananas, as they contain less sugar compared to fully ripe ones.

Time Your Meals

Avoid consuming red bananas on an empty stomach. Instead, eat them as part of a balanced meal.

Add Vinegar

Include a small amount of vinegar, such as apple cider vinegar, in a salad dressing alongside your meal, which may help in moderating blood sugar levels.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and mindfully to allow your body to better regulate sugar absorption and recognize fullness cues.
